Lost


I am lost

Lost to the world of the broken

Broken hearts left behind by the destroyed

Destroyed dreams become nightmares

Nightmares take over my haunted mind

 

I am lost

Lost to my own thoughts

Thoughts echoing with dark voices

Voices whisper insults quietly

Quietly pushing me towards insanity

 

I am lost

Lost to the darkness

Darkness coaxes me to the edge

Edge closer and push light away

Away where it cannot save me

 

I am lost

Lost to waves of sadness

Sadness defends against any help

Help pulls me into an embrace

Embrace the warmth of light once again

 

I am found

Found by your light

Light draws me to a happy place

Place me in your arms  

Arms that create safety

 

I am found
